New Pre-workout

Scott Schwab:

We have spoken in the past about pre-workout supplements and their benefits. There is a new product on the market that you need to take a look at. The results are incredible and there is not the problem with crash and burn or jitters. Pre-workout is a great aid to getting your workout to the next level, or even pulling yourself out of a slump or plateau. Be careful, because there is a lot of caffeine in pre-workouts and it should be taken as directed on the container.
If you need any, let us know, we are now carrying them in stock both online and in the gym.


Here are some additional benefits that you will notice from taking a pre-workout.

-  Boost Energy
-  Reduce Fatigue
-  Increase Focus
-  Improve performance
-  Increase Strength
-  Increase endurance
-  Decrease muscle breakdown during training
-  Increase protein synthesis
-  Improve nutrient delivery and assimilation
-  Increase metabolic rate (fat burning)
-  Create an optimal hormonal environment

The Strength Matrix:

Beta Alanine

Beta-alanine is a non-essential Amino Acid used predominantly by athletes and strength trainers to increase lean muscle mass, Increase Strength, Increase Endurance and energy levels and delay muscle fatigue. Unlike many other amino acids, beta-alanine is non-proteinogenic, which means it is not involved in the composition of protein. Beta-alanine is the only naturally occurring beta-amino acid and its most available source is within the dipeptide carnosine, typically found in Protein rich foods such as poultry, beef, pork and fish. Beta-alanine can also be found within the dipeptides anserine and balenine. However, digesting foods rich in Protein to raise beta-alanine levels is not particularly crucial as the liver is able to produce it within the body.

Creatine Hydrochloride

Creatine hydrochloride is a hydrochloride salt patented in 2009 and marketed as an athletic and bodybuilding supplement. A study found creatine hydrochloride to be 59 times more soluble in water than creatine monohydrate. Due to its higher solubility, the recommended dosage for creatine hydrochloride is much lower than that for creatine monohydrate

L-Leucine

Leucine is the only dietary amino acid that has the capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.As a dietary supplement, leucine has been found to slow the degradation of muscle tissue by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins While once seen as an important part of the three branch chained amino acids in sports supplements, leucine has since earned more attention on its own as a catalyst for muscle growth and muscular insurance.

L-Citrulline Malate

This compound helps athletes working to improve sports performance and recover quickly after intense exercise.

Citrulline is effective in promoting nitric oxide (NO) production and supports the production of growth hormone, insulin and creatine.Citrulline works by eliminating endotoxins to prevent lactic acid and ammonia buildup through its function as an intermediary in the Urea. Citrulline speeds up their removal from working muscles, aiding both physical performance and recovery.

Citrulline malate is useful to those engaged in high-intensity resistance and endurance exercises, including strength athletes, powerlifters, strongman competitors, bodybuilders, runners, sprinters and cyclists.

Agmatine Sulfate

Agmatine is naturally produced in the body by the breakdown of arginine. Supplementing with agmatine sulfate does many of the same things that arginine should do, but it seems to be much more effective. Agmatine sulfate has many benefits to the bodybuilder or athlete. The benefits if agmatine sulfate include enhanced muscle pumps, better nutrient partitioning (more calories are shuttled towards muscle tissue and less are stored as fat), and increased production of luteinizing hormone and growth hormone. Agmatine sulfate appears to boost muscle pumps in a couple different ways. First, agmatine sulfate may improve nutrient partitioning, leading to more muscle glycogen (carbohydrates stored in muscle tissue) stored and consequently more water retained in the muscle. This can lead to a full look to the muscle and increase muscle pumps. Second, agmatine sulfate also appears to increase nitric oxide production by acting as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase.

The Caffeine Matrix:

Caffeine Anhydrous

Caffeine anhydrous is a stimulant that is used as an energy accelerant to increase athletic performance. It combats fatigue, has a mild diuretic effect and also increases lipolysis; the breakdown of fatty acids.

Caffeine Citrate

A faster acting caffeine to get you fired up faster for your workout. Contains the same benefits as caffeine anhydrous.

Infinergy (DiCaffeine Malate)

DiCaffeine Malate is a combination of natural caffeine and Malic Acid. These ingredients are ionically bonded into a compound that optimize energy, stimulate thermogenesis, and increase mental focus. By combining these two ingredients together, the Malic Acid buffers the caffeine salt so that it digests easier than the natural caffeine on its own. The Malic Acid also assists in replenishing energy.

Intensity Matrix:

1, 3-Dymeth

t, for added energy, increased clarity and a boost in physical performance, especially valuable to athletes during calorie restriction or when a high level of focus is needed. For fat loss, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine works through a similar chemical pathway causing a rise in cAMP, the chemical messenger that triggers fat release.

Pikatropin (Pikamilon)

Pikatropin is a nootropic compound that increases blood flow to the brain and lessens mental fatigue.

It possesses high cerebrovascular activity improving cognitive, analytical, and performance enhancement.

(Hand to eye coordination and reaction times).

Yohimbe Bark Extract

Yohimbe´s popularity has been ignited by new research that shows it could be an herb with very effective antioxidant potential. Research suggests it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the extremities and appendages. In addition, yohimbe has also been suggested to help support healthy arteries. Yohimbe also has been suggested to decrease fat synthesis in the body by increasing fatty acid mobilization.

RauwolfiaVomitoria Root Extract-Alpha-Yohimbine

A yohimbine-isomer that works with far more potent MAOI-inhibiting properties (normally, yohimbine isn't very strong in this regard). Because of this, it basically works as an amphetemine-potentiator, because it prevents the neuro-breakdown of the brain's 'big three'-- serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine. It also has similar alpha-2 antagonistic properties to yohimbineHCl, but is also less vasoconstrictive in areas, making it less likely to induce large increases in BP.

Alpha-yohimbine (Alpha-Y) is an analogue of yohimbine, but its potency at the subreceptors of alpha2 differ quite a bit--most notably at the alpha2b and alpha2c adrenergic subreceptors. It is 3 times more potent at alpha2b and 4 times more potent at alpha2c. It is equipotent at alpha2a. The differing ratios of activity is where it allows us to do good stuff with it that we could not do with yohimbine.
